To this point, I'm pretty tough on it in the workplace. I have one young analyst who is very strong analytically but a terrible speller and writer. I've told him that unless you clean that up and improve it I will never be in a position to promote you, no matter how good you are at the analysis. He's young and he's got time, but it has to be taken seriously because if you can't intelligently communicate your thoughts then all the quality thought and analysis in the world doesn't get anybody anywhere.

It's a fundamental skill, if you don't have it you're nearly worthless in a corporate work environment.
